I am going to say a tie between TWOK and ENT uniforms with DS9 uniforms coming in a decent second.

Same Here, my favorite Star Trek Uniforms. I just can't really warm up the others, despite some being more practical.I still think the pilot episode uniforms looked better, but the TOS Starfleet uniforms were functional and militaristic enough
I got the impression the budget for TWoK was comparatively low when they recycled some of the Enterprise's external montages when it was moored up in the orbital dock - but The Undiscovered Country seemed to have a bigger and slicker budget (likely due to the resurgence in Trek with TNG).Bounty wrote:Random trivia: when the TWoK uniforms were being made, the budget was so tight that the costumers were forced to recycle as much of the TMP uniforms as they could.

If you ever have the chance, see the movie with the Okuda's text commentary. It's amazing how clever Meyer was in cutting corners. For example -Meyer was rather clever, given the budget constraints and the schedule. A lot more than just the external montages were recycled from The Motion Picture: Regula laboratory model, Reliant bridge set being the same as Enterprise's with minor modifications and different camera angles, etc.
Both the TOS uniform and the Leia Slave Girl outfit are every geek male's fantasy.Skylon wrote:The TOS miniskirt is just something I need to get my girlfriend in some day.
One would naturally expect a regular physical fitness routine for a military.ShadowSonic wrote:As long as it's on someone who's not fat...
Apparently in the TOS TV Federation Starfleet and the Terran Empire of all eras, woman have to constantly work out.
Well that explains quite a bit, like how the TNG starfleet can claim to not be a military organization. They clearly don't have a manditory physical fitness routine explaining how Riker and others can be so out of shape.General Zod wrote:One would naturally expect a regular physical fitness routine for a military.ShadowSonic wrote:As long as it's on someone who's not fat...

For the proof of that, watch Yeoman Marta Landon kick the crap out of several of the Feeders of Vaal trying to kill her and the Enterprise landing party in "The Apple".ShadowSonic wrote:As long as it's on someone who's not fat...

That ain't cost cutting, that's a standard video effects trick.Bounty wrote:- the distorted computer images on the bridge screens during the attack and later in the nebula were made by slightly misaligning a VCR head and running the tape.
I'm really sure that the person who said he could bring the movie in at a much lower budget was Harve Bennett.Bounty wrote:The best part, of course, is that Meyer only got the job because he said he could do the movie for a third of TMP's cost - and then brought it in under budget.
To be fair, part of the $35M for TMP came from money that had been spent on the aborted Phase II project.Oberleutnant wrote:Budgets courtesy of IMDb:

It would make sense if officers above a certain rank weren't required to participate in physical fitness routines anymore, and thus some had the privilege of letting themselves go. . .but for someone that goes on an away mission frequently it's not very reasonable.Darth Servo wrote:Well that explains quite a bit, like how the TNG starfleet can claim to not be a military organization.

Maybe Riker just exempted himself from PT, I've served under officers that did that. He's the XO, whose going to argue with him?General Zod wrote:

I would assume that they would object.Darth Servo wrote: The captain? The doctor?
Kirk was seen giving McCoy a full physical workout as part of the latter's crew evaluations during the episode "The Corbomite Maneuver". No exceptions were made.Cpl Kendall wrote:I would assume that they would object.Darth Servo wrote: The captain? The doctor?
